dig is not able to locate the local DNS server. Here's what happens:
dig @127.0.0.1
---several moments go by ---
; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @127.0.0.1
;; global options: printcmd
;; connectiion timed out; no servers could be reached
however, rndc -s 127.0.0.1 status produces this:
number of zones: 4
debug level: 0
--more interesting counts of this and that--
server is up and running
and, ps -ef | grep named produces this:
named 1344 1 0 12:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/named -u named
lines 6 and 7 show named listening on port 53 to the l0 and eth0 connections, but there are lines lower in the output that also mention port 53 with no indication that the process is listening, although it is the same pid.
Thanks for your input - I hope this helps get Me closer .
